Carrie Vine, LCSW — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Carrie!

I work with adults primarily, but also have experience with teens. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a trauma-informed lens.

My focus

I have a specialty working with the LGBTQIA+ community and those living with HIV. This population has been the focus of my career.

My approach

My therapeutic approach varies just as a client's need varies. I prefer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have been working with Family Systems Theory as well.

My communication style

I am relaxed and an active listener for my clients. My therapy space is ALWAYS a judgment-free zone.

My journey to mental healthcare

My degree in Social Work was one that I knew I had many options for. I started as a medical case manager for people living with HIV. I also worked with the aging population. Over the years, it was evident that my path was individualized therapy.

My goals for you

Clients need to set their own goals within therapy and what they want to get out of their sessions. The time we spend together is the client's, and I want to be sure to honor that.

Our first session

A session that is about the client and about where they are in life, and what might need to shift. The first session will be a lot of initial questions just to get familiar with each other.

I identify as...

Female, Cis
Caucasian or White
Agnostic, Pagan, Wiccan, Unitarian Universalism
